Writing a Book on a Wiki

Working Topic Ideas

• Practicing What We Preach -- Implementing professional development with principles of good teaching practice

Writing Concept:

• Use a protected wikispace; Allow all to read but not edit
  • Generate interest in the book before it is completed/published
  • Those providing comment or collaboration will have a stake in the book and may, in turn, generate more interest among others
• Invite readers to comment in the Discussion space
  • Give attribution for ideas/contributions used from Discussion comments
• Invite a select few as Collaborators
  • Give edit access
  • Named as collaborators when published
• Blog when new concepts/ideas/sections are added
  • Drive traffic to the wiki
